The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MIDNR) has contained 85% of the Wilderness Trail Fire near Grayling, which started due to a campfire on private property. The fire spread in a southwest direction through jack pine, mixed pines, and oak. The hot, dry weather conditions have increased the chance of fires in Michigan from very high to extreme. MIDNR is not granting burn permits for yard debris due to weather conditions. Several roads near the fire remain closed as heavy smoke is still visible in the area.
